The Eighth Consciousness-No-Perception State

After Akutsu roared, the Manas Consciousness that Akutsu had awakened suddenly changed.

The dark red aura emanating from Akutsu suddenly became violent, and after Akutsu's eyes were filled with dark red light, that aura permeated his entire half of the arena.

"Did I succeed? I've finally stepped into the Asura Divine Path."

Horio, watching from the sidelines, finally smiled with satisfaction as he observed Akutsu's aura, which was even stronger than in her Manas Consciousness state.

"Such powerful extradimensional force, it can actually cover half of the stadium."

Moreover... this power is different from my other-dimensional power; his Asura Divine Path is actually bound to another dimension."

While both Akutsu sensed changes in each other, Byodoin felt threatened.

Meanwhile, Oni, the leader of the Court No. 3, was also very satisfied with Akutsu.

"It's a real shame. If you had been my opponent in the last match, I might have been even happier."

Inside the stadium, Will Not Be Zero Tanegashima, who had entered the Akutsu Asura Divine Path, also became serious.

"It's truly astonishing that there are junior high school students who have reached that level."

"The Asura Divine Path? What are you planning to do?"

"Let's observe the situation first and see how well that middle school student's Asura Divine Path can perform."

Upon hearing Tanegashima's words, who was invisible, Ohmeguro Ryuji also noticed something amiss.

However, he didn't know how to solve it, so he could only ask Tanegashima for help.

However, Tanegashima didn't intend to take immediate action, so he remained in a state of Will Not Be Zero, preparing to receive the ball.

"Do you still intend to use that trick against me? Just wait to die!"

Akutsu, now wielding his No-Perception State, seemed to have reverted to his former playing style, radiating a wild and untamed energy.

He tossed the ball up and Akutsu swung his racket.

Bang!

"Junior high school students score, 15:0"

"Wow, that's amazing. Even without hiding yourself like Tanegashima did, you still managed to score with your serve."

"Is that the eighth consciousness, the No-Perception State...?"

"The Seventh Sense No-Perception State, also known as the Alaya consciousness, was already very strong for Akutsu, who had already awakened it."

There was originally a vast chasm between the eighth and Seventh Sense, but Akutsu has now crossed that chasm. He is definitely more than what we see at his current level.

As for Akutsu, Miki also did some research on him.

Since awakening his Manas Consciousness in Akutsu, Gan has specifically researched related materials.

He didn't expect that not long after Akutsu demonstrated his Seventh Sense, he would successfully awaken his eighth consciousness.

Bang!

"Junior high school students score, 30:0"

Bang!

"Junior high school students score, 40:0"

Bang!

"Junior high school student scores, score 2:5"

"So, Ryuji, what do you think of that middle school student's Asura Divine Path level?"

"He's very strong. To be honest, if it were a singles match between us, I wouldn't be his match."

"Looks like we need to be more serious, or we'll embarrass ourselves."

Akutsu's four consecutive serves left Ohmeguro Ryuji with no chance to fight back.

Hearing Ohmeguro Ryuji Akutsu, Tanegashima probably shared the same opinion.

However, despite this, after Akutsu held his serve, the ball went to Ohmeguro Ryuji.

Even if, as Tanegashima suggested, they were to launch a counterattack, Ohmeguro Ryuji would be facing off against Akutsu.

Ohmeguro Ryuji just admitted that he is no match for Akutsu now, so how could he possibly regain the upper hand in the game against Akutsu's defense?

As expected, Akutsu quickly returned the serve to score every time Ohmeguro Ryuji Omagari hit the ball.

"Whether it's strength, speed, flexibility, or destructive power, Akutsu, now with the No-Perception State Consciousness activated, far surpasses his previous self."

"His Asura Divine Path is very powerful and also very unique."

"Irie is right, Akutsu's Asura Divine Path has indeed greatly increased his strength."

At the same time, Tokugawa was right; Akutsu's Asura Divine Path was different from theirs.

Tokugawa, your Asura Divine Path should not only focus on improving your physical strength, but also on improving your technique.

However, Akutsu is different; he possesses exceptional physical talent, even being a once-in-a-decade genius.

Therefore, his Asura Divine Path involves strengthening his body to the extreme, to the point where he can control his body at will.

However, there is one thing: although he has now entered the Asura Divine Path, his physical strength cannot support him in maintaining a state of No-Perception State for an extended period of time.

After hearing Horio's explanation, Irie and Tokugawa became even more curious about Akutsu.

Bang!

"Junior high school student scores, score 3:5"

Ohmeguro Ryuji quickly ended his serve, and even though he was known as the player with the best endurance in the First String, he couldn't fight back against Akutsu.

"Ryuji, didn't you learn anything else during your training overseas?"

"Stop talking nonsense. That guy just wants to end the fight quickly, which isn't my forte."

As Ohmeguro Ryuji prepared to return to the frontcourt, Tanegashima's teasing voice rang out.

Ohmeguro Ryuji didn't care about this, because he simply couldn't withstand Akutsu's fierce attacks.

"Let's end this farce here. Although you've managed to turn the tables a bit, I won't let the situation escalate any further."

Tanegashima, whose expression hadn't changed since using the "Will Not Be Zero" skill, looked serious, gripping his racket even tighter.

"Akutsu... You've already given this much for this match, I won't give up either."

On the other side, Sanada stood on the baseline, looking at Akutsu who had activated his No-Perception State's Awakening, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Sanada, you'd better not distract me right now, or I'll get rough with you."

"Leave the rest to me, we'll definitely win."

Sanada didn't feel offended by Akutsu's impolite words.

When Akutsu heard Sanada say that, a smile actually appeared on his lips.

The moment their conversation ended, Sanada's dark Aura erupted once more.

Moreover, as Sanada's inner resolve hardened, his dark Aura also evolved.

What was originally just an irregular black Aura surrounding him has now gradually formed a black halo, and the power emanating from Sanada's eyes has become exceptionally strong.

"Let me show you my resolve! Swift as the Wind Storm!"

With his black Aura activated, Sanada once again unleashed his Swift as the Wind Storm attack, increasing the speed of the tennis ball once more.

"Have you evolved in this game too? This is getting more and more troublesome."

"But the more trouble you cause, the sooner I need to defeat you."

Sensing the changes happening on the tennis ball, Tanegashima focused his attention.

Will Not Be Zero coordination, Extinguished Zero; Sanada's Swift as the Wind Storm, was thwarted.

"It's not over yet! Black Dragon Triple Slash!"

With the black Aura bolstering him, Sanada's performance improved dramatically, unleashing a move he hadn't yet mastered into the open backcourt of the high school students.

"Black Dragon Triple Slash, does that mean there were three turning points in this tennis match?"

Seeing that Sanada had already called out the name of the move, Tanegashima also made preparations in advance.

The tennis ball landed, bounced, and flew straight away.

When the Tanegashima moves into the trajectory of the tennis ball, the tennis ball immediately changes direction.

Then Tanegashima extended his racket in a different direction from the tennis ball, which was where he predicted the tennis ball would appear after its third turn.

Thump...

"Junior high school students score, 15:0"

"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be the Black Dragon Triple Slash? Shouldn't the tennis ball change three times!?"

"That's clearly the Black Dragon Second Slash! Could it be that Sanada hasn't mastered that move yet and is just saying it to bluff people?"

Off the field, the middle school students watched the ball play with puzzled expressions.

"Even the Fuji Sanada has learned this kind of deception; he's really unconventional."

Horio, watching Sanada's reaction, found it rather amusing.

Sanada, who has always taken tennis very seriously, actually did things he would never have done before in order to win a match.

"You actually fooled me. You don't actually know the Black Dragon Triple Slash at all, do you?"

Your expression just now was quite convincing, but I won't fall for it again next time.

Looking at the tennis ball lying on the ground, Tanegashima couldn't believe he'd been tricked.

Sanada didn't react to Tanegashima's words; he simply walked to the other side of the field.

Toss the ball up and serve a standard serve.

Even with the support of the black Aura, the violence had no effect on Tanegashima, Sanada simply saved his energy.

"Why don't you try that Black Dragon Triple Slash again? I really want to know if you can actually pull it off."

Tanegashima returned the serve, looking at Sanada with a provocative smile.

"Black Dragon Triple Slash!"

Sanada said nothing, but shouted "Black Dragon Triple Slash" again, and the tennis ball flew to the same spot as before.

While in stealth mode, Tanegashima looked into Sanada's eyes and, finding that his expression was no different from the previous ball, realized that it was another feint from Sanada.

"Even Tanegashima always teases people, has been fooled one day."

Horio, Tanegashima from the sidelines, placed his racket on the second bend of the tennis ball and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Thump...

"Junior high school students score, 30:0"

"There were truly three turning points! Sanada really did unleash the Black Dragon Triple Slash!"

"It seems he really did it on purpose last time."

"I never expected that Sanada Vice President would also learn this scoring method. It's truly unprecedented."

This time, Sanada's shot didn't just change twice; it actually had three distinct turns.

The middle school students outside the arena were in an uproar, not because Sanada could unleash the Black Dragon Triple Slash.

Rather, it was because this goal proved that Sanada was using tactics in the previous goal; no one expected that Sanada had also learned to use tactics.

While the Black Dragon Triple Slash did shock everyone, the main reason was Sanada's change in himself.

"It's... three changes..."

The tennis ball had landed in the opposite direction of Tanegashima's racket, and Tanegashima himself was somewhat dazed by the shock of the two balls.
